Nashville – Country Music City USA

By Lisa Monroe

Nashville is a town in Tennessee that gets plenty of attention due to it being the center of country music. People come from all over the world to visit what is known as Music City USA. It isn’t just country music artists that come here to record and perform though. Many rock and roll artists also love the musical influence that is found there. This is also home for many Christian music artists. Yet it is the country music genre that gets the majority of the publicity here.

Nashville is a huge place though and the second largest city in all of Tennessee. There are plenty of recording studios to be found as well as record companies. People from all over the world come to Nashville with big hopes and dreams of making it big in the country music industry. They think they can make it big if they can just get discovered in Nashville. Yet so many people have the same idea so it can be harder than it seems. Record companies get hundreds of demos daily and they just don’t have the time to listen to all of them.

Tourists will find there is plenty to see and do on a visit to Nashville. The most popular of them all is the Grand Ole Opry. It is a good idea to try to get tickets well in advance though. This way you won’t be disappointed when you arrive and can’t get in. There are different artists invited to perform there all the time so you have a good chance of seeing one of your favorites.

The Country Music Hall of Fame is also located in Nashville. For those that really enjoy country music, this is a place to make sure you dedicate a full day of time to. Since 1961 it has served as a place to honor those that have dedicated so much to the world of country music. This includes performers, writers, and producers. There are new members inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame each year during a wonderful ceremony.

One of the biggest country music events of the year takes place there each summer. Fan Fair draws more than 200,000 people each year. This event lasts for four days and there are plenty of top artists to perform. There are also autograph sessions and fans will wait in line all day long to meet their favorite country music stars.
